| Historical
Notes In the mid-17th century, the Southeastern Ojibway occupied an area along the eastern shore of Georgian Bay, west along the north shore of Lake Huron and north along the east shore of Lake Superior. By the late 17th century, the Chippewas and other branches of the Southeastern Ojibway began to expand into what is now identified as Southern Ontario, an area then occupied by the Iroquois. Sometime after the turn of the century, the Southeastern Ojibway settled in areas around the Bay of Quinte, Lake St. Clair, in the valleys of the Grand River and the Thames River, along the north shore of Lake Ontario. The Ojibways of Hiawatha were at one time apart of a larger Band known as the Mississaugas of Rice, Mud and Scugog Lakes. In 1818 the Mississaugas surrendered and sold to the Crown a large tract of their land containing about 1 951 000 acres for an annuity of $2960. The Band subsequently split into distinct groups and relocated to newly created reserves. The Hiawatha reserve was first surveyed in 1881. |
